Search for weakly interacting massive dark matter particles: state of the art and prospects
Physics Uspekhi, 2020Determining the nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the most important challenges of modern experimental physics. This article overviews the major arguments confirming the existence of DM, gives the latest classifications of DM particles, identifies ...

Indirect detection of weakly interacting massive particles
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003Several experiments are performing searches for dark matter in the Galaxy in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). A major search technique is to look for secondary particles originating from the annihilation of pairs of WIMPs at various locations in the Galaxy.

Search for weakly interacting massive particles in ancient mica
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1995For a WIMP search the collecting power of a crystal of mica with a track-retention age of 10 9 years is far greater than can be attained with electronic detectors. We use an Atomic Force Microscope to measure the depths of etchpits due to recoil atoms in mica that has been calibrated with fast neutrons and low-energy ions of O, Si, K, and Fe.

Weakly interacting massive particle densities in decaying-particle-dominated cosmology
Physical Review D, 1991We consider the present cosmological density of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP's) in the context of models where the energy density is dominated by decaying massive particles, such that WIMP's freeze out of chemical equilibrium during the massive-particle-dominated era.

On the direct detection of extragalactic weakly interacting massive particles
Physical Review D, 2001We consider the direct detection of WIMPs reaching the Earth from outside the Milky Way. If these WIMPs form a distinct population they will, although of much lower flux than typical galactic halo WIMPs, have a number of features which might aid in their ultimate detectability: a high and essentially unique velocity ($\sim 600$ km/s in the galactic ...

Physical Review D, 2003
We compare the sensitivity of WIMP detection via direct separation of possible signal vs. background to WIMP detection via detection of an annual modulation, in which signal and background cannot be separated on an event-by-event basis. In order to determine how the constraints from the two different types of experiments might be combined an adequate ...

Prospects and methods for solar weakly interacting massive particles searches
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2013Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are attractive particle candidates to explain the observational evidence of dark matter. Identifying the particle properties of WIMPs, such as mass, self-interaction cross section and scattering cross sections could lead the way to a fundamental theory describing both matter and dark matter.
